reason why: PC and consoles cant play on same servers

http://www.sourceradio.com/modules.php?name=Vault&page=watch&id=236

This is the reason we dont have cross compat PC and console shooters. Imagine these kind of people with mice playing Halo3 against someone with a controller ... the SR would just wreck everyone ... it would be rediculous. I guess, im looking for a reason how someone could explain how someone with a controller can have this speed and precision ... I dont think its physically possible to turn that fast on a controller anyway.

good point.

probably not enough demand as well.

but handicaps are always a MUST for consoleFPS when doing cross compat ... its just not even fair ... :| I dont wanna have to know im going into a game playing some dude who has semi lock on ... thats not equal...

That is the big thing on cross-platform (in terms of console-pc gameplay) multiplayer. It's so disadvantageous to console players that it is not worth it.

Developed in tandem for PC and PS3, DC Universe Online is doing everything in its power to bridge that chasm between the two very different corners of gaming. While it hasn't yet been confirmed whether players on the two formats will coexist in the same crime-ravaged cities, various features point to this being at least a target for SOE. Most notably, it has been announced that PS3 owners will be able to hook up a USB mouse/keyboard combo should they rather pretend they're playing the PC version, while PC players, in a rare opportunity, can instead opt for a controller. This is surely a sign that the developer is proud of the console-based control setup, which is the first major hurdle in the PC-to-console transition process.

erm... "shooters", so you posting all that, was a giant waste of time

I would put up a good challenge because I would be motivated to do good.

Because a mouse and keyboard set up for a PS3 MMO magically stops working for a shooter even if a developer decides to use the same technology.

Just have a keyboard/mouse options (For PS3), so you can just hook a keyboard/mouse up and have at it.

EDIT: Loving the music as I watch.

They have the advantage so I would try. Sometimes I get lazy online and stop paying attention. Since everyone on the other side would be good, I would have more fun.

Ahhh then I concede the point. Good call on the quote

I get lazy and stop paying attention to. It's all good. Good point, playing against people who suck, makes for a boring game

controller has some advantages over mouse like being able to spin in circles, to do this on mouse you will have to keep picking mouse up off the pad after running out of space. it's not hard to aim with a controller just strafe crosshair in general players direction and just move analog slightly as needed, dont totally just aim freelooking analog only, use strafeing to help you aim also.bigmommashouse4

Would you be offended if I said Console games played more realistic than that? Hell yeah that was fast. I couldn't keep up what was going on!! Thats cool that its like super jumps and stuff, but its just too fast for me. I didn't see where every shot went I just saw the gun aming at the other players and fireing. Ahhh.... not my type of game. So are you saying thats exactly how Halo 3 plays on the PC? Yikes.LOXO7

I may invest in that KB/M addon for consoles. I could imagine owning on Halo3 with one of those.

All the PC gamers would own the console ones with ease.

I would like to see 360 and PS3 have cross-platform play. The fanboy wars online would be priceless. :lol:

[QUOTE="Cranler"] You can actually change strafe direction quicker on kb.lowe0

In all due respect that is true, even if its more unnatural.

I don't see how the point should be inflated :?

But doesn't Shadowrun do cross plat? I mean yeah it would mean to make it fun for both, you have to make it so both sides are on equal grounds, but it's still possible too. :P yoshi_64

It would be nice playing friends in a game like L4D who have the PC version, while i have the 360 version. You would need to balance it somehow, because m/kb would have a huge advantage.

Can't beleive it hadn't been mentioned yet, but in UTIII for the ps3 we can already play controllers against Mouse and Keyboard. I mean you can tell a difference when guys are using k&M but for the most part still fun and I've been dominated just as bad from other players using controller aswell lol.

When not fun, then I plug my K&M in then its all down to business lol.

Plus in my crazy old man imagination, I've thought it would be cool to have a 3rd Party Dev. make a Crossplatform ps3/360 shooter MMO, not really fps or tps, but really depends on the class you chose. From the 360 side if you chose a Halo class you run fps, if Gears class you got tps. Just like on the ps3, if you chose aMGS class you run tps, or a KZ class you run as first person view. But basically you would have all of the classes formed from each consoles game characters to make up the game. Assassin classes from Splinter Cell or MGS, Tactical infiltration from GRAW and Socom, Assault classes from Halo, PD0, Rfom, KZ:) Each class could aswell have their own world to occupy, or just make it a neutral galaxy that both platforms are trying to take over by dominance.

The servers would be ran by the 3rd party dev with background help from both Sony and MS. But yea it would be nice to have something out there that players could go against the other platform in. But it would definitly need to be something definitly epic to be as grand as something like that needs to be. To know that is where the battle of gaming systems is fought :)
